We Need More Pacific Islanders on this Team


Recommended Posts

Just had a random thought recently about league-wide talent, and it occurred to me that we don't have any Samoan, Tongan, or Polynesian players right now. These players are usually beasts that add to the overall physicality and talent of a team.

Our most notable islanders were Luvu and Lotuleilei with a shout out to Ma'ake Kemoeatu.

Some of the best teams right now have these guys: Rams - Nacua, Lions - Sewell, Commanders - Luvu, Buccaneers - Vea, Falcons - Bijan Robinson, etc.

Dan Morgan needs to keep this in the back of his mind going into next year. Just saying.

    • We need to come out of this draft with at least 1 good offensive weapon and as much defensive help as possible. I'd actually be ok with us not drafting a center this year with this being a weak center class and I feel that both Brady and Mayes both can be decent centers. We also have the option of resigning Corbett who should be pretty cheap considering his recent injury history but before he went down he was actually playing really well in his first year as a full-time center.  Getting a healthy Derrick Brown back along with Mason Graham, A'shawn Robinson, Jaden Crumedy, and a veteran NT and we could be very nicely set up at Dline next year. 
    • There’s too many other issues not to keep the few promising defensive players that we do have. Jackson and Horn both need to be rewarded this offseason with contracts. We need major help (in order) at edge, interior DL, linebacker, and safety. Morgan needs to sign 3-4 high impact defensive free agents and go heavy defense in the draft, while also looking for more help at receiver and center. That’s where my focus would be.
    • I’m always hesitant to buy into analysts saying it is a “weak class” compared to last year. For example, some said the 2017 QB draft class was “weak”, yet we all know who came out of that draft class (Mahomes). Positional depth and strengthens can vary from draft to draft, but there are usually players who prove people wrong and go on to have great careers. So while I respect that some people view this class as “weaker” than last year, I’m sure there are players that can be difference makers and potentially be perennial pro bowlers.
